Sophisticated and fiercely intelligent, Anna Schopenhauer has one weakness: men old enough to be her father. Returning home to New York for her father's seventieth birthday party, she wants to break the pattern and confront a family friend - the older man in her life - about whom she has written a recently published short story.
'Funny Accent' is one of those rare things: a thoroughly entertaining novel that is thought provoking and nuanced.
